Excerpt from The Public Health Nurse, Vol. 11: June, 1919
For weeks we had known that such an armistice was within measurable distance of achievement, yet it seems apparent that no responsible committees were at work anywhere to plan ways and means of giving beauty, dignity and fitting opportunity to the over whelming desire on the part of all people to celebrate.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores public health nursing in the United States from its inception to its state at the end of the First World War. United States' public health infrastructure deeply lagged that of European counterparts in the early 20th century, and the author highlights how that disparity motivated a national effort to strengthen public health initiatives. To improve the health and safety of their citizens, the author thoroughly examines the challenges that arose from the country's size and its diverse population, including the need to overcome state and regional divides in the approach to public health. The author also discusses how gaps in public health policy and a shortage of qualified personnel impacted efforts to combat infant mortality and the spread of infectious diseases. This book provides valuable historical context that remains relevant to today's public health practitioners and is a significant resource for those interested in the history of healthcare in the United States.
